Anyone want to reminisce.....

about what they miss about maternity leave? I'll start:

-going back to bed
-sweatpants
-Jon and Kate plus 8, Malcom in the middle, runway moms, oprah
-showering late in the afternoon instead of 5:30 am.
-weekday = empty mall
-no bottles
-afternoon walks
-sleeping when the baby sleeps
-no pumping!!
-no rush hour traffic
-sitting for hours just staring at this new creature
-taking pictures every moment, of everyday
-middle of the night feedings (yes, i do miss this time with him)
-doing laundry mid-week
-not missing one single moment of his daily life.

Re: Anyone want to reminisce.....

My maternity leave ended over a year ago, so it's been a while. But, I do miss:
naps (hers and mine!)
comfy clothes
stroller walks
Price is Right (the Bob Barker version)
All My Children
all the one-on-one time

Re: Anyone want to reminisce.....

Snuggling and sleeping when baby sleeps (luckily we co-sleep so I still get to do this a lot!)
March Madness-I got to watch most of the tournament last year with a baby at my breast.
No pumping
No schedule

Re: Anyone want to reminisce.....

-not having to pack half the house every Monday morning to take to daycare
-washing dishes instead of pump parts AND dishes
-snuggling with my babies without stress about what I SHOULD be getting done
-sweats!
-no need to shower!
-time to do my exercise videos or take a walk
-grocery shopping during the week instead of the crazy weekends...
-NO PUMPING, NO PUMPING, NO PUMPING!
-hanging out with other moms with babies
-the relatives offer to help (they go home after your maternity leave when you need them the most! LOL )
-I miss my kids the MOST
